Maps visualization can't recognize geospatial (geo\_point ) field (source.geo.location).

Field source.geo.location having type geo\_point, is searchable and aggregatable.

Trying to check everything according to: [Troubleshoot Maps | Kibana Guide [8.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/maps-troubleshooting.html) but no success...

Index pattern filebeat-\* - template:

```auto
{
  "properties": {
    "source.geo.location": {
      "type": "geo_point"
    }
  }
}

```

Field properties:

```auto
GET filebeat-nginx-2023.02.08/_field_caps?fields=source.geo.location

{
  "indices": [
    "filebeat-nginx-2023.02.08"
  ],
  "fields": {
    "source.geo": {
      "object": {
        "type": "object",
        "metadata_field": false,
        "searchable": false,
        "aggregatable": false
      }
    },
    "source.geo.location": {
      "geo_point": {
        "type": "geo_point",
        "metadata_field": false,
        "searchable": true,
        "aggregatable": true
      }
    },
    "source": {
      "object": {
        "type": "object",
        "metadata_field": false,
        "searchable": false,
        "aggregatable": false
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Example data (part of JSON):

```auto
...
"source.geo.location": [
      {
        "coordinates": [
          -114.0478,
          46.5267
        ],
        "type": "Point"
      }
    ],
...

```
